Chinchorro

Chinchorro was a Spanish Navy fort situated on an atoll reef off the coast of Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula. The reef, located 22 miles off the coast of the peninsula, was once home to a naval fort used by Spain to defend New Spain from British and pirate attack, but the fort was taken over by Edward Kenway's pirates in 1719, and its commander Julian de Rey was killed. Today, the reef is home to nine shipwrecks and a large crocodile population.
